February .28 , 1966 SENTINEL 3 From Backstage 'Crewst by Margaret Malone '68 Monday, February 21, 1966. Eliza, where the devil are my slippers? The curtain closed for the last time on Holy Redeemerts presentation of My Fair Lady. All the work, worry, and tears are in the past. Left behind are echoes and memories. There are memories of First Night whenjust as nerves were strained t0 the breaking point, Miss Maday announced to the cast that the house is packed--there is standing room only. Everyone broke intoaresounding cheer and from then on, the outlook was bright. Of course, no two nights went exactly the same. Eachperformance had its own anecdotes, mishaps, and successes. Marty Colbeck, otherwise known as A1 P. Dolittle, got off to a great start as he walked on the stage. He was greeted by the resounding voice of his nephew, Gee look at Uncle Marty. He looks funny. ChristineScagnetti's Charming soon became Charming, simply charming, and brought as much amusement as Pro- fessor Higgins' famous M o t h e r when he was bested bv Eliza. While part of the cast struggled on- stage, the others amused themselves in the Blue Room. Card games, imagin- ary hockey and baseball were attempted and everyone was cautioned to keep it down to a dull roar. In the midst of the orderly confusion, Miss Maday explained that the theatrical version of Good luck is Break a leg, and that in show business good luck is equivalent to bad luck. The final night brought a mixture of relief and regret. The latest game ac- cording to John Emig was See-how-long you-canikeep-Celia-Schwab-crying. For the seniors, the last night was a true finale as far as high school musicals go, while the underclassmen continue to look forward to more plays and more of the smell of grease paint--roar 0f the c?cowd. A-o-o-w, not A-a-a! Sister Georglyn shows the cast how to do it. Stage Manager John Emig, and Director of Lighting JimOverholser reach a tense moment during the rehearsal.
